    Occupying a lofty, lonely spot overlooking the waters of Llyn Padarn, native-built Dolbadarn Castle was once a vital link in the defences of the ancient kingdom of Gwynedd. Most likely constructed by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great) in the late 12th or early 13th century, it stood watch over the strategic route inland from Caernarfon to the upper Conwy Valley. Today the site is dominated by the sturdy round tower, very different in style to the unmortared slate slabs which make up the castles curtain walls. Standing 50ft/15.2m high, the towers design was probably inspired by that of similar fortresses built by Llywelyns rivals in the borderlands of the southern Marches.

    Can't go wrong with a free castle visit! Nice little walk to get up there and the vote of pretty good once you're there. Shame that you are caged in at the top of the tower but I guess safety is paramount.
